The Bacton estate redevelopment will deliver over 450 new homes in total across two phases, providing spacious, energy-efficient living spaces along with new landscaped areas and public realm improvements to create a vibrant and inclusive neighbourhood.
Cherry Court and 2 Vicars Road, completed in 2017 as part of the first phase of the redevelopment, built 46 new council homes and 21 private homes on the estate, consisting of 4-storey townhouses and stacked maisonettes. The project’s vision was shaped by a close collaboration with residents.
As part of the second phase of the redevelopment, we have partnered with Mount Anvil, London-based housebuilding specialist, to deliver new, high-quality private homes and at least 61 additional affordable council homes. Providing much needed modern, sustainable homes including many family-sized council homes in the heart of Gospel Oak.
The second phase of the project builds on our extensive community-led engagement approach, with the design proposals currently undergoing a detailed design consultation before the planning application, due to be submitted in 2025.
